Ransomware via mobile
A compromised device can serve as an entry point into the hospital information system, with a risk of disrupting operations and patient care.
The context
Why healthcare is a prime target
Healthcare facilities cannot stop. This continuity obligation makes them targets for ransomware: any service interruption immediately affects patient care.
On a device shared by several caregivers, a malicious application installed once can access the data later viewed by all other users.
The GDPR classifies health data as a special category requiring enhanced safeguards. NIS2 lists healthcare among highly critical sectors: depending on their size, facilities are essential or important entities, with risk management measures and incident notification within 24 hours.
Healthcare application publishers handle sensitive data. The GDPR requires them to build security in by design and to regularly test the effectiveness of their security measures.
